Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Comparison of metagenomic samples using sequence signatures

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
Background Sequence signatures, as defined by the frequencies of k-tuples (or k-mers, k-grams), have been used extensively to compare genomic sequences of individual organisms, to identify cis-regulatory modules, and to study the evolution of regulatory ...

Massive Sequence Comparisons as a Help in Annotating Genomic Sequences [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Research, 2001
An all-by-all comparison of all the publicly available protein sequences from plants has been performed, followed by a clusterization process. Within each of the 1064 resulting clusters—containing sequences that are orthologous as well as paralogous—the sequences have been submitted to a pyramidal classification and their domains delineated by an ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Localization of Electronic States in Chain Model Based on Real DNA Sequence

open access: yes, 2004
We investigate the localization property of an electron in the disordered two-chain system (ladder model) with long-range correlation as a simple model for electronic property in DNA sequence.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

The nucleotide sequence of a human immnnoglobulin C-gamma-1 gene [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
We report the nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding the constant region of a human immnnoglobulin γ1 heavy chain (Cγ1). A comparison of this sequence with those of the Cγ2 and Cγ4 genes reveals that these three human Cγ genes share considerable homology

Sequence Comparison in Historical Linguistics

open access: yes, 2021
The comparison of sound sequences (words, morphemes) constitutes the core of many techniques and methods in historical linguistics. With the help of these techniques, corresponding sounds can be determined, historically related words can be identified, and the history of languages can be uncovered.

Sequence comparison on the connection machine

open access: yesConcurrency: Practice and Experience, 1991
AbstractWe give two parallel algorithms for sequence comparison on the Connection Machine 2 (CM‐2). The specific comparison measure we compute is theedit distance: given a finite alphabet ∑ and two input sequencesXϵ ∑+andYϵ ∑+the edit distanced(X,Y)is the minimum cost of transformingXintoYvia a series of weighted insertions, deletions and substitutions

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...
